You can help maximize the natural product life of your wetsuit by:

- Rinsing your product after each use with fresh, cool water (hot water reduces neoprene flexibility).

- Hanging your product to dry inside-out on a plastic or wooden hanger in the shade (sunlight damages neoprene).

- Occasionally rinsing your product in non-bleach, mild laundry detergent sudsy water.

- Avoiding heating or folding your product (that includes leaving it in a crumpled heap in the back of your car).

- Wetsuits should never be ironed or put in a clothes washer or dryer.
